STOCKHOLM — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 26, 2016 —
IAR Systems® (STO:
IARB) announces that the world’s most widely used
embedded development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench® for ARM® is now
integrated with the S32 Design Studio IDE from NXP Semiconductors. The
integration enables the powerful build chain of IAR Embedded Workbench
to be used to build code generated in the S32 Design Studio IDE.

The S32 Design Studio IDE is an integrated development environment for
NXP’s automotive and ultra-reliable MCUs. In addition to functionality
such as pin configurator, bootloader and motor control toolbox, it
provides AUTOSAR Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) support and
AUTOSAR OS for the S32K product line tailored for automotive
applications.

By letting S32 Design Studio generate a project connection with IAR
Embedded Workbench, the highly optimizing IAR C/C++ Compiler™ and the
extensive C-SPY® Debugger can be used to develop the application. Adding
a project connection will automatically include the generated code to
the IAR Embedded Workbench project. If those files are changed from S32
Design Studio, they will be updated automatically in IAR Embedded
Workbench. Thanks to an integration of the build chain of IAR Embedded
Workbench into the Eclipse-based S32 Design Studio, developers can also
opt to continue development within the S32 Design Studio while utilizing
the IAR C/C++ Compiler.

“The easy migration between IAR Embedded Workbench and S32 Design Studio
enables developers to gain efficiency through all stages of their
development process,” says Manuel Alves, Global Product Line Manager,
NXP Semiconductors. “This powerful toolchain also lets them reach the
highest level of performance and quality in their designs.”

“This integration will further drive the development of automotive
software,” says Anders Lundgren, Product Manager, IAR Systems. “The S32
Design Studio provides a comprehensive environment that saves time and
helps start application development quickly. By using it together with
the powerful development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench, developers
will be able to maximize the performance of their applications.”

The complete C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded
Workbench for ARM features comprehensive debugging possibilities and
smart integrated profiling tools and is available with build chain
certification according to the automotive functional safety standard ISO
26262. In addition, IAR Systems offers fully integrated static and
runtime analysis tools for complete code control. More information is
